Christopher Moloney is a Canadian writer and photographer born August 4, 1977, he is best known for his ongoing rephotography project entitled FILMography. He studied radio and television arts at Ryerson University in Toronto. After earning his degree, Moloney moved to New York City to work in television working on shows such as Late Show with David Letterman and Erin Burnett OutFront.
In June 2012,he began experimenting with an on-location layering technique of holding up a black-and-white printout of a scene from a movie and taking another photography otherwise known as ‘Rephotography’
The critics are divided on his work. Flare praised Moloney for “Flawlessly [lining] up every brick in a building and curb on the street to make the visuals look as one”. Whilst The Atlantic was more critical, noting “the buildings don’t always line up perfectly; the colors seldom match”
His photographs have been featured by a number of magazines including Esquire, Complex, Wired,Fast Company and Vanity Fair.In 2013, his photographs were part of exhibitions during the Cannes Film Festival and Ischia Film Festival.
Personally I think the idea is very good and a interesting concept, I had previously seen these images floating around the internet, and hadn’t heard of ‘Rephotography’ so I think that Chris has brought the style of photography back into the modern era as previously it was only used by scientist and historians to document time changes, but now i see lots of brands and photographers using this style. But I think that if Chris had taken a bit more time when executing theses images the overall project would look a lot better, such as this image, the sun is reflecting off the paper into the lens so half of the left side of the image is too bright so we cannot see what is on that side, so maybe he could have though ahead and taken the images at a different time of the day so that the sun would have been in a different location. The image taken from ‘The Avengers’ could have been of better quality
